Women's attribution of blame in abusive relationships.

A dissertation submitted to the faculty of arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of master of arts (clinical psychology) / The present research study, located in the field of social psychology and attribution theory
investigated variations in causal attributions of abused women in relation to reported severity,
duration and frequency of the abuse. The study aimed to expand current attributional
research to incorporate global/specific attributional dimensions of blame. Although theories
of learned helplessness have been linked to global attributions of blame, this relationship has
been under-researched in the area of women abuse. [Abbreviated Abstract. Open document to view full version] / AC2017
